Description
Looking for a great place to work? A place where our culture means safety, respect, quality and excellence and putting our customer's interests ahead of our own? Then think City of Edmonton - City Operations.
Edmonton's urban forest represents a significant municipal asset. More than 380,000 publicly owned trees enhance our boulevards and our open space trees. This valuable component of Edmonton's Urban Infrastructure improves our air quality, reduces energy consumption, conserves water resources and beautifies the City. With careful stewardship, these benefits can continue for generations.

You will provide leading-edge input on tree management strategies, and administer the Corporate Tree Management Policy (C456C) and the Public Tree Bylaw 18825 permit requirements.
